Explanation:
82=−3(−4a+3)−5
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
82=−3(−4a+3)−5
82=(−3)(−4a)+(−3)(3)+−5 (Distribute)
82=12a+−9+−5
82=(12a)+(−9+−5) (Combine Like Terms)
82=12a+−14
82=12a−14
Step 2: Flip the equation.
12a−14=82
Step 3: Add 14 to both sides.
12a−14+14=82+14
12a=96
Step 4: Divide both sides by 12.

a=8
